I have the last generation Carrera 41mm Day-Date, absolutely love it, movement now runs around -1 second a day although with lots of use and crown up I can just about eeek +1 second a day, it’s 8 years old and the whole piece looks fantastic with very little in the way of scratching or dings, she’ll be due a service soon but given it had a few years without much wear it’s not an overly stressed movement
I looked at both. Knowing omega will be a more respected brand in general and the fact that it has an in house movement it’s all around a better watch. But I liked the look of the Carrera better. I was bummed that they didn’t offer it in the larger size unless you got a day date or the gmt . I would have gladly paid a few bucks more for a larger dial but I don’t like the looks of the day date and don’t need gmt so I settled for the 39mm and it doesn’t look bad on my 8” wrist. I’m plan on buying the leather strap so I can dress it up a bit on occasion.
The reason why I'm never going to buy omega AT and rolex DJ is because after I bought the tag heuer carrera (exact same watch as in this video), I don't see the need or desire to have another watch of this kind with high price tag.
The Omega is superior in every way, but the Omega's cost for the watch and any potential service keeps it from being an everyday beater. I think the Carrera is fair game in that field, though.
I own a previous gen tag 39 and it's brilliant. Great bracelet and finishing. They will have to update that movement as it's definitely showing it's age comparative to other watches in it's price bracket. Saying that, on the grey market tags value drops almost 50 % even for near new or unworn pieces which makes it a lot more desirable option.
A lot of ppl rave about the omegas. The movements feel gritty and 750 for a service. Not worth it trust me. Plus when you put them on no one cares but you. Save your money get the tag!
thanks for the comparison, i like both watches. But for the technical side, you need fixed focus camera lens for this type of close up video - as then you would not need to fight with the autofocus.
I liked the look of tag side to side, but i liked the look of Omega when you put it on. For long term, Omega wins for me. Looks more mature and subtle. I think Tag looks suitable for youngers guys if they can afford
I tried unsuccessfully to get a used 38mm AT quartz after getting my missus the 30mm last year. After having problems with my Tag F1 and AR I wouldn't consider another Tag although her 34 year old 2000 appears to be bullet proof🤞 The AT is a real beauty and a classic almost as much as an SMP
How on earth does the Tag win with a Stellita movement and tiny lume pips? You can buy a Tissot Powermatic 80 for 1/3 the price of the tag with a better movement and equivalent finishing to the Tag. The Omega is twice the price of the Tag but it’s also more than twice the watch.
@@KLucero22 the tag is more beautiful and it is thinner (very important for a daily wear). It’s snobbery to think the movement is the only criterion to judge a watch.
@@lihanou have you held the two of them? Read my comment again. It’s snobbery to think the Tag is better than the Tissot Gentleman powermatic 80. You are paying $3000 for the tag vs $775 for the Tissot. The Tissot is worth the money. The Omega is also worth the money. The Tag is only worth the branding on its dial but nothing else.
@@KLucero22 But out of the 3, I still like tag the most. It's the prettiest and most wearable of the 3. If I disregard the price/brand prestige etc, this tag is the one I'd choose.
At the time of the video the Carrera was $3,000 and Omega $5,700 but there have been price increases on both since. Pricing is typically found in the description. Thanks!
I don't like the date at 6. Bombe lugs are great but the premium on such a simple piece I can't justify as how often does one stare at the movement. I would pick an Oyster Perpetual over the Omega and pocket the change, if there was any.
Omega is a MUCH better watch, brand, and investment. Omega has own superb movement, TAG and movements is a whole another story😅 oh yeah, and push-pull crown on the Carrera is a disgrace.
This comparison, is not profesionals. Omega is much more expensive watch, from Tag heuer Carrera. In my private opinion, only movement from Omega is better. Rest watch komponents are similar quality. Alsow dial from Omega, is a litle better quality. Price for this Tag heuer is 3$, for Omega 6$. Two watches, from two price levels. Thanks for movie😊.
I owned the blue 38 AT and the white 38 AT - ultimately sold them both on after a few months because of the piece-of-shit bracelet and the thickness. 19mm lugs made aftermarket a myth. It looks like a near-perfect proposition at the beginning but don't be fooled. You'll meet your hero and be disappointed!
I am between the 38AT in blue and the Tag Heur in silver. The bracelet on the Omega is much worse? How is not having adjustment? Does it scratch very easy?
@@luxuryfood3810 lack of micro adjustment was a dealbreaker for me because I have small 6.2 inch wrists which swell up and down often. The clasp is way too long, it’s appalling. It’s too thick for a 38mm dial. Rolex do you a GMT Master II at 40mm with 12mm thickness. Omega insist on see-through casebacks and give you 13mm+ on a 38mm Aqua Terra. It’s not nice to wear if you have a 6.5inch wrist or lower.
@@UCZ15 yeah that is what makes me worry because I have a small wrist but I am tall, so many watches of 38mm and Under look great on my wrist but don’t go with my presence. I think 40mm is my perfect size of wrist watch. Any watch from Omega you will recommend then ?
@@luxuryfood3810 I also owned the 42mm SMP but the lug to lug was ridiculous (over 50mm on bracelet). Also the clasp was ridiculous. Then I was told by somebody that I should get the 39.5 Planet Ocean so I sold the SMP and bought the PO. It’s over 14mm thick and it’s top-heavy so it kept moving around on the wrist. The bracelet was nice and the micro adjustment was cool. Very legible handset and dial. Lovely bezel. Accurate movement. But again - the proportions just didn’t work at all. After all of the Omega drama I went through for 3 years buying and selling, I considered a Speedmaster - but decided to walk away. I got the call for a Rolex Datejust in 36mm and never looked back. Not a perfect watch but all the things wrong with Omega are fixed on that thing. I love it, and understand now what the fuss is about. Now I’m trying to get a 36mm Explorer. Hopefully 2023 is the year I get the call.
The Omega movement is incredible but the Carrera just looks timeless and more elegant.
They’re both good looking watches.
Both gorgeous looking watches, the Tags blue face and less blingy strap win for me.

Just got the TAG Carrera today in blue....a beautiful watch ⌚️
Congrats, enjoy wearing it!
a surprisingly useful comparison between these two models; also I suggest holding them steady / on a support for a few seconds--for better viewing.

I prefer the TAG as everyday watch, hands down. Omega is superior of course in movement... and in retail price
Just got the Tag Carrera with a silver face today. Absolutely stunning watch very happy with my purchase.
Congrats, enjoy wearing yours!
Tag Heuer for me. I have tried this one on and it is perfect for me.
That Tag Blue is gorgeous! I just wish it was larger.
So many people hate on Tag, but that’s a beautiful watch
Omega is my favourite watch brand, but I actually prefer the TH here. Probably my next watch (in the black dial version)
Tag looks great and price is right.

i could get the new 39 for 600$ on the grey market
@@thepieisaspy9438 goodluck w that
@@prollychiefin6470 www.carousell.com.my/u/TheRgallery_official/reviews/ holla him up then
Yea right where?
Omega's got very good proportion design as always like their seamaster
Man i love that blue on that Carerra..
It's a good one!
Thanks for the video, I was trying to decide between the two
Thanks for viewing! Hope it helped.

Tag if I had to choose one 😊
Both looks great, the Omega is like 3 times more expensive?
almost twice as expensive - if you listen to the video
The tag heuer looks better
Nice comparison. The Omega has a better movement, but I'd take the Tag for looks and price.
thanks for the comparison, i like both watches. But for the technical side, you need fixed focus camera lens for this type of close up video - as then you would not need to fight with the autofocus.
If you remove the brand name TAG wins this one for me, factoring in almost half the price also
I liked the look of tag side to side, but i liked the look of Omega when you put it on. For long term, Omega wins for me. Looks more mature and subtle.
I think Tag looks suitable for youngers guys if they can afford

Nice comparison, do you know when will omega be releasing its new color options in 38mm the terracotta red is especially stunning!
Continues to get pushed back but last ETA is 1st quarter this year...
Does two tone Tag Heuer Carrera has 18k gold or is it PVD or gold filled ?
They are not solid and likely plated, but would need to confirm.
I have both. Carrera in silver 39mm, AT in blue 38mm. Both are great watches and have a place in my collection.
Right on! Enjoy wearing both of them.
At new price?
Love both watches but just can't go under 40mm.
nice video mate. Tag wins!!

If the TAG Carrera 39mm gets a Tudor movement like the recently announced Aquaracer Superdiver, I'd prefer the TAG.
Se devo spendere 6k per un AT preferisco un Datejust… TAG is perfect evryday watch… !
Love the tag but omega wins every day.
Always look at after sales omega wins every time
The omega looks tighter somehow,with a classier look.
Id take the omega.
how mch

These two watches are in different categories. The AT Omega is far superior. You should compare the TAG with a watch with the same specs.
Have a recommendation you'd like to see?
